◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright clarity characteristic of the style. The natural carbonation produces a fine, persistent head with good lacing that clings to the glass. The unfiltered nature allows trace haze typical of house-brewed ales.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with resinous pine and citrus zest from classic West Coast hops, layered with a clean, crisp character. Subtle malt backbone provides a light, grainy undertone without sweetness. The natural fermentation introduces a faint fruity note that complements rather than dominates the hoppy character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a sharp, hoppy bite that delivers both piney and citric flavors in the first impression. Mid-palate stays clean and dry, with mineral-forward malt providing structure but remaining subordinate to the hop profile. The 60 IBU bitterness integrates smoothly, finishing lean and refreshing without astringency.

◑ Finish

A crisp, dry finish that fades cleanly with lingering hop bitterness. The aftertaste remains hoppy and slightly resinous, with no cloying sweetness or harsh edges.
